"January was a tough year, but we made it (through)” is a jocular January saying that has been printed on many images. That is, the month of January feels so long that it seems like a year. “January was a tough year but we made it” was posted on Twitter by Gene Park on January 31, 2018.

“Through” is sometimes added at the end. “January was a tough year but we made it through” was posted on Twitter by demon gyal🦋 on February 1, 2018. “January was a tough year I’m glad I made it thru” was posted on Twitter by TANA BY TANA.on February 3, 2018.

The saying is often posted on January 31st, while it is still January. “January has been tough year but we made it” was posted on Twitter by Tawanda Raymond on January 31, 2019.

The more jaded (read: too sober) will write the fridge off as a gimmick and complain about the less-original messages that have already made the rounds on Pinterest or Twitter (“January was a tough year, but we made it”), but those folks are missing the point.
